Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve yeast in water. Add the pinch of sugar. Set aside to bubble for 10 min.

Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter until warmed.


In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt, wheat germ, and flour. Make a wel and add the milk and butter mix, and egg.

Stir into a soft ball, adding only as much of the remaining flour as needed. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Let rise, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours or until doubled. Punch down and shape into 16 round buns.

Place on a greased baking sheet. Dust with unbleached flour. Cover. Let rise about 1/2 hour or until almost doubled.

Bake at 375 for 15 min or until golden brown.
